Default and it lives, after 10 stinking months.

I just received a call from my friend who happens to be in the shop and I heard the sound of my car with open headers, Damn it sounds nice and I cant wait to leave the office at 5 and go to the shop.

at last I will have my Camaro back.

I will update after going to the shop.

thanks ray, btw where have you been?

I went to the shop, all is good, no leakes, no over heat, no nothing; the car Idels smooth at 900rpm, and the throtle response is just great.

as much as I will hate to lose the sound of open headers, haha, it should be in the exhaust shop now geting the ORY and Catback installed.

what didnt happen, haha.

eve'rything went wrong, many parts were bad and had to be replaced, so I decided to go all the way and change everything that might take a crap in the next 6 month of the car's life, and I ended up changing almost everything.

and the shop I take my car to is really good but really really slow.

Ive been around. Glad to hear the car is doing well. The next couple of weeks besides break in youll have to deal with the bugs etc. Ive never seen a car that was down for more than a month get back on the road with no small bugs to work out. Soon as my oil pan comes in if ever (almost 2 weeks) we can go cruising. Tell your boy to hook me up with that D44
